Gary McClure, the coach at Austin Peay, resigned after 27 seasons following his arrest in a prostitution sting. The university’s president, Alisa White, said in a statement that it was a sad situation for all involved.

The Clarksville, Tenn., police said that McClure had responded to an online ad and contacted an undercover officer. The Leaf-Chronicle reported that McClure was arrested Friday after arriving at a location given by the officer.

McClure had 822 wins at Austin Peay. He led the Governors to six N.C.A.A. regional appearances and is the Ohio Valley Conference’s career leader in wins.
